1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and metabolic syndrome have been largely correlated to a reduction in bacterial load and diversity, resulting in a condition known as intestinal dysbiosis. The recent emergence of novel antidiabetic medications has been demonstrated to exert a favourable influence on the composition of the intestinal microbiota. Incretin-based therapy exerts a multifaceted influence on the composition of the gut microbiota, leading to alterations in bacterial flora. Of particular significance is the capacity of numerous metabolites produced by the gut microbiota to modulate the activity and hormonal secretion of enteroendocrine cells. This review examines the effects of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and GLP-1/gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) receptor dual agonists on the composition of the gut microbiota in both mice and human subjects. The nature of this interaction is complex and bidirectional. The present study demonstrates the involvement of the incretinic axis in modulating the microbial composition, with the objective of providing novel preventative strategies and potential personalised therapeutic targets for obesity and T2DM.
